Dissapointed in the Atom

I’ve decided that I totally hate Netbooks.  This unit is as decked out as you can get it.  Big optional hard drive for storage.  Lots of RAMs running around.  In fact with RAM and HD space, it’s actually just as good as my late Laptop… but that’s where the good points end.  The wireless antenna sucks and gives crap for signal strength, even when within feet of a wireless access point.  But that’s fine, I can live with that.  But what really sucks the most is the little anemic processor.

Confession: Hoodies

I love them. They are my favorite thing to wear… Hooded sweatshirts with a front pocket… Hoodies… Over a t-shirt that’s tucked into a pair of jeans, fresh socks, and a comfortable pair of sneakers. This is my favorite sort of outfit. Super comfortable is a bonus, but the best thing about this style is that there is no limitation on what one can pack concealed. No requirement that your defensive tool has to be as small as a Matchbox and chambered in something the size of a grape seed. You can pack a full sized defensive handgun that is massively effective in skilled hands.

The ATF gets to define my Sport?

Since when does the BATFE have the right to define what my Sport is?

Since when does the 2nd Amendment have a “Sporting” requirement?

The BATFE is overstepping their bounds.  They are an old, outdated agency and society and the shooting industry has outgrown the need for them… Well, maybe the “E” part.  I can can see the continued regulation of explosives… so disolve everyone out of the agency that doesn’t deal with explosives and rename their new smaller Charter.  The B.E is fine… We can call them the Bang Boys.

Great day

I have to tell ya… I had a great day today.  I slept in until a late 0800.  Then the wife made me breakfast… I relaxed for a bit and then took off on a good ride on the motorcycle with a friend.  Then when I came home, dinner was steak.   Gotta love it.  No bad news.  Nothing bad happened.  Just enjoyed a day off.  Beautiful.

My last Flight

Years and years ago, I was very into aviation.   I still am, but not with the same enthusiasm.  Last time I was in the cockpit it was in a Cessna 142.  I had flown other aircraft before, 152’s, 172’s, and a 182, along with some other small planes, Cherokee, Arrows and even a V tail Beechcraft.  Other than Ultralights,  the 142 was the smallest and the most twitchy.  In fact, it felt more like an Ultralight than the other aircraft, even the 152 which isn’t really any bigger… the 142 is very basic.

CDC warns of Zombies

The CDC is warning people about Zombies.  It’s kind of funny that he CDC is using Zombies as it’s Disaster Analog, since Gun Owners have been doing it for years and years.   We call it our “Zombie Plan”.  The ZP can be activated for any disaster/situation which requires drastic actions for survival.  Now the CDC report I linked to doesn’t mention it… but Firearms and Ammunition are also critical.  Because even if you don’t face Brain Eaters, you will face other people who will want what you have… everything you have.
Get your Shotgun ready.

My first book

I’ve completed my first book. It’s somewhere between 700-800 pages. 151333 words. I still have to edit it, clean some things up, continuity, and throw in some back stories to some characters… and it’ll be ready to publish. But the book as a whole is done.
After my first editing pass, I’m going to send it out to a small handful of volunteer readers.
